Description

本発明は、自動車等の車両に設けられて当該車両の変速機に対する変速操作を行わせ得る車両用変速操作装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a vehicle speed change operation device that is provided in a vehicle such as an automobile and can perform a speed change operation on a transmission of the vehicle.

自動車などの車両に設けられた変速機を変速操作するための車両用変速操作装置は、一般に、車両に固定されに変速操作装置本体に回動自在に支持された操作レバーと、該操作レバーの先端部に取り付けられた操作ノブとを有しており、運転者が操作ノブを把持しつつ操作レバーを回動操作することによって、車両の変速機に対する変速操作を行わせるよう構成されている。   In general, a vehicle speed change operation device for operating a speed change of a transmission provided in a vehicle such as an automobile includes an operation lever fixed to the vehicle and rotatably supported by a speed change operation device body, And an operation knob attached to the front end portion. The driver rotates the operation lever while holding the operation knob so that a speed change operation is performed on the transmission of the vehicle.

然るに、オーバードライブスイッチ（ＯＤ／ＳＷ）等が形成されたものにおいては、その操作ボタンが当該操作ノブの左右何れかの側面から突出形成されており、運転者が当該操作ボタンを押圧操作することにより変速操作の制御（例えば、４速自動変速機においては４速への変速が行われるモードと行われないモードとの切換制御）が行われるようになっている。   However, in the case where an overdrive switch (OD / SW) or the like is formed, the operation button protrudes from the left or right side of the operation knob, and the driver presses the operation button. Thus, a shift operation control (for example, in a four-speed automatic transmission, switching control between a mode in which a shift to the fourth speed is performed and a mode in which the shift is not performed) is performed.

上記の如く、オーバードライブスイッチなどのスイッチ手段が操作ノブに形成されているものにおいては、当該スイッチ手段と外部（車両側の例えばＥＣＵなど）との間で電気的接続（導通）を図る必要がある。例えば特許文献１にて開示されているように、操作レバーに配線（導線）を案内しつつ固定する溝を形成するとともに、当該配線によりスイッチ手段と外部との電気的な接続を図ったものが提案されている。
特開平７−１９３２３号公報 As described above, in the case where the switch means such as the overdrive switch is formed on the operation knob, it is necessary to make electrical connection (conduction) between the switch means and the outside (for example, ECU on the vehicle side). is there. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a groove for guiding and fixing a wiring (conductive wire) is formed in the operation lever, and the switch means and the outside are electrically connected by the wiring. Proposed.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照しながら具体的に説明する。
本実施形態に係る車両用変速操作装置は、自動車等の車両に設けられて当該車両の変速機に対する変速操作を行わせ得るものであり、図１〜３に示すように、操作レバー１と、操作ノブ２と、カバー３と、スイッチ手段４（操作ボタン４ａ）と、配線手段６とから主に構成されている。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
The vehicle speed change operation device according to the present embodiment is provided in a vehicle such as an automobile and can perform a speed change operation on the transmission of the vehicle. As shown in FIGS. The operation knob 2, the cover 3, the switch means 4 (operation button 4a), and the wiring means 6 are mainly comprised.

操作レバー１は、図１で示す矢印方向への回動操作によって車両の変速機（不図示）に対する変速操作を行わせるためのものであり、当該車両に固定される変速操作装置本体（不図示）に回動自在に支持されて構成されている。また、操作レバー１は、上下に開口した筒状部材から成るとともに、内部に操作ロッド８（図３参照）が挿通され得るよう構成されている。   The operation lever 1 is used to cause a gear shift operation (not shown) of the vehicle by a rotation operation in the direction of an arrow shown in FIG. 1, and is a gear shift operation device main body (not shown) fixed to the vehicle. ) Is rotatably supported. The operation lever 1 is composed of a cylindrical member that is opened up and down, and is configured such that an operation rod 8 (see FIG. 3) can be inserted therein.

操作ノブ２は、操作レバー１の先端（上端）に固定されて運転者が把持可能なものであり、本実施形態においては、左右対称に形成された操作ノブ本体２ａと、該操作ノブ本体２ａの左右側面に固定された側面部材２ｂ、２ｃとから成る。即ち、操作ノブ本体２ａの左右側面に側面部材２ｂ、２ｃを固定させることにより、操作ノブ２が構成されているのである。   The operation knob 2 is fixed to the tip (upper end) of the operation lever 1 and can be gripped by the driver. In the present embodiment, the operation knob body 2a is formed symmetrically, and the operation knob body 2a. And side members 2b and 2c fixed to the left and right side surfaces. That is, the operation knob 2 is configured by fixing the side members 2b and 2c to the left and right side surfaces of the operation knob body 2a.

操作ノブ本体２ａの正面側には、操作ロッド８を操作するための操作部５が形成されている。具体的には、図３に示すように、操作部５は揺動軸Ｌ１を中心に揺動自在とされるとともに、揺動軸Ｌ２を中心に揺動可能な連動部７と当接して配設されている。この連動部７は、操作部５が揺動することにより揺動軸Ｌ２を中心に揺動し、その先端７ａが操作ロッド８を押圧して下方へ移動させ得るよう構成されている。   An operation unit 5 for operating the operation rod 8 is formed on the front side of the operation knob body 2a. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the operating portion 5 is swingable about the swing shaft L1, and is disposed in contact with the interlocking portion 7 swingable about the swing shaft L2. It is installed. The interlocking portion 7 is configured to swing about the swing axis L2 when the operating portion 5 swings, and the tip 7a can press the operating rod 8 to move downward.

尚、操作ロッド８は、操作レバー１が所定位置にあるとき、不図示の変速操作装置本体と係合した状態となって当該操作レバー１の回動操作を規制するよう構成されているとともに、操作部５を操作して当該操作ロッド８を下方へ移動させることにより、当該係合が解除され、操作レバー１の回動操作を許容するよう構成されている。   The operation rod 8 is configured to engage with a transmission operation device body (not shown) when the operation lever 1 is in a predetermined position, and to restrict the rotation operation of the operation lever 1. By operating the operation unit 5 and moving the operation rod 8 downward, the engagement is released and the operation lever 1 is allowed to rotate.

カバー３は、操作レバー１の外周面を覆うものであり、本実施形態においては操作ノブ２の下端から連続的に下方へ延びた形状とされている。かかるカバー３により、操作レバー１や後述する配線手段６が外部から視認されてしまうのを回避することができ、意匠性を向上させることができる。尚、意匠性をより向上すべく、例えばカバー３の外周面に意匠を施したもの（例えば鏡面仕上げや着色したもの）とするのが好ましい。   The cover 3 covers the outer peripheral surface of the operation lever 1, and has a shape that continuously extends downward from the lower end of the operation knob 2 in this embodiment. Such a cover 3 can prevent the operation lever 1 and the wiring means 6 described later from being visually recognized from the outside, and can improve the design. In order to further improve the design properties, for example, it is preferable that the outer peripheral surface of the cover 3 is designed (for example, mirror-finished or colored).

一方、操作ノブ本体２ａにおける一方の側面に固定される側面部材２ｂの所定位置には、貫通孔２ｂａが形成されており、かかる貫通孔２ｂａを介してスイッチ手段４の操作ボタン４ａが突出形成されている。この操作ボタン４ａは、スイッチ手段４としてのオーバードライブスイッチ（ＯＤ／ＳＷ）の一部（操作部）を構成しており、押圧操作可能とされたものである。尚、かかる操作ボタン４ａに代えてシーソー型のスイッチノブ等としてもよい。   On the other hand, a through hole 2ba is formed at a predetermined position of the side member 2b fixed to one side surface of the operation knob main body 2a, and the operation button 4a of the switch means 4 protrudes through the through hole 2ba. ing. The operation button 4a constitutes a part (operation unit) of an overdrive switch (OD / SW) as the switch means 4 and can be pressed. Note that a seesaw type switch knob or the like may be used instead of the operation button 4a.

スイッチ手段４は、操作ノブ２に形成されて運転者が操作（スイッチング操作）可能なものであり、本実施形態においては４速自動変速機において４速への変速が行われるモードと行われないモードとの切換制御を行うためのものである。即ち、スイッチ手段４は、操作ボタン４ａと、本体４ｂとを有しており、操作ボタン４ａを押圧操作することにより、本体４ｂ内における所定の電気回路が形成され、その電気信号が配線手段６を介して外部（例えば車両が搭載するＥＣＵ等）に伝達され得るようになっている。   The switch means 4 is formed on the operation knob 2 and can be operated (switching operation) by the driver. In the present embodiment, the switch means 4 is not set to the mode in which the shift to the fourth speed is performed in the four-speed automatic transmission. This is for performing switching control with the mode. That is, the switch means 4 has an operation button 4a and a main body 4b. By pressing the operation button 4a, a predetermined electric circuit in the main body 4b is formed, and the electric signal is transmitted to the wiring means 6. It can be transmitted to the outside (for example, ECU etc. which a vehicle carries) via this.

配線手段６は、操作レバー１とカバー３との間に配設され、スイッチ手段４と外部とを電気的に接続可能とするものであり、図８に示すように、複数（本実施形態においては３本）の導通プレートＰを所定の樹脂Ｊにてインサート成形して得られる板状部材から成るものである。導通プレートＰは、導電性の比較的良好な金属をプレスにて打ち抜き得られるものであり、樹脂Ｊにて所定間隔を有しつつ固定化されたものである。これにより、配線手段６は、従来の配線（導線）に比べて柔軟性を抑制しつつ全体的に剛性を有したものとなっている。   The wiring means 6 is arranged between the operation lever 1 and the cover 3 and enables the switch means 4 and the outside to be electrically connected. As shown in FIG. Is a plate-like member obtained by insert-molding three conducting plates P with a predetermined resin J. The conduction plate P can be obtained by stamping a relatively conductive metal with a press, and is fixed with a resin J with a predetermined interval. Thereby, the wiring means 6 has rigidity as a whole while suppressing flexibility as compared with the conventional wiring (conductive wire).

また、導通プレートＰの上端６ａ及び下端６ｂは、それぞれピン状に加工されつつ外部に露出しており、コネクタ接続が可能となっている。尚、上端６ａは、配線手段６の側方（配線手段６の長手方向と略直交する向き）に延設されており、下端６ｂは当該配線手段６の長手方向に延設されている。更に、導通プレートＰをインサートした樹脂Ｊは、全体として矩形状を成しており、一部（下端６ｂ側）において側方に突出して係止用突起６ｃが形成されている。かかる係止用突起６ｃは、配線手段６が組み付けられる際、操作レバー１に形成された突起部１ｂ（図６、７参照）に係止し得るよう構成されている。   Further, the upper end 6a and the lower end 6b of the conduction plate P are exposed to the outside while being processed into a pin shape, respectively, so that a connector can be connected. The upper end 6 a extends to the side of the wiring means 6 (direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wiring means 6), and the lower end 6 b extends to the longitudinal direction of the wiring means 6. Furthermore, the resin J into which the conduction plate P is inserted has a rectangular shape as a whole, and a part (on the lower end 6b side) projects sideways to form a locking projection 6c. The locking projection 6c is configured to be locked to the protruding portion 1b (see FIGS. 6 and 7) formed on the operation lever 1 when the wiring means 6 is assembled.

然るに、配線手段６は、操作レバー１の面１ａ（図６、７参照）に沿って組み付けられるとともに、上端６ａには補助配線Ｈが接続されるようになっている。操作レバー１における配線手段６が配設される面１ａは、当該配線手段６と略合致すべく平坦に形成されている。尚、本実施形態においては、当該面１ａを平坦とした断面Ｄ字状のものであるが、断面が矩形状のもの等であってもよい。これにより、配線手段６の組み付け作業をよりスムーズに行わせることができるとともに、配線手段６の安定した組み付けを可能とすることができる。   However, the wiring means 6 is assembled along the surface 1a (see FIGS. 6 and 7) of the operation lever 1, and the auxiliary wiring H is connected to the upper end 6a. The surface 1 a on which the wiring means 6 is disposed in the operation lever 1 is formed flat so as to substantially match the wiring means 6. In the present embodiment, the surface 1a has a flat D-shaped cross section, but the cross section may be rectangular. Thereby, the assembling work of the wiring means 6 can be performed more smoothly, and the wiring means 6 can be stably assembled.

一方、補助配線Ｈは、図９で示すように、コネクタＣとスイッチ手段４とを電気的に接続するためのもので、導線の周囲を樹脂等で覆った配線から成るものである。そして、コネクタＣを配線手段６の上端６ａに接続する一方、配線手段６の下端６ｂに車両側に延びる配線のコネクタ（不図示）を接続すれば、車両側（例えばＥＣＵ等）とスイッチ手段４とを電気的に接続させることができ、操作ボタン４ａの操作により生成される電気信号を車両側に送信可能となっている。   On the other hand, the auxiliary wiring H is for electrically connecting the connector C and the switch means 4 as shown in FIG. 9, and is composed of wiring in which the periphery of the conducting wire is covered with resin or the like. If the connector C is connected to the upper end 6a of the wiring means 6 and a connector (not shown) for wiring extending to the vehicle side is connected to the lower end 6b of the wiring means 6, the vehicle side (for example, ECU or the like) and the switch means 4 are connected. And an electric signal generated by operating the operation button 4a can be transmitted to the vehicle side.

ここで、操作ノブ２における操作ノブ本体２ａは、図６、７に示すように、左右対称に形成されているとともに、配線手段６の上端６ａを臨ませるべく左右側面方向に開口した貫通孔９が形成されている。具体的には、貫通孔９は、図５に示すように、配線手段６を挿通させるための挿通空間１０と連通して形成されており、当該貫通孔９から臨ませた配線手段６の上端６ａに対して補助配線ＨのコネクタＣを接続可能となっている。   Here, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the operation knob body 2 a in the operation knob 2 is formed symmetrically and has a through hole 9 that opens in the lateral direction so that the upper end 6 a of the wiring means 6 can face. Is formed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the through hole 9 is formed in communication with the insertion space 10 for inserting the wiring means 6, and the upper end of the wiring means 6 facing the through hole 9. The connector C of the auxiliary wiring H can be connected to 6a.

即ち、配線手段６を挿通空間１０から挿通させてその上端６ａを貫通孔９から臨ませるとともに、当該貫通孔９に補助配線Ｈを挿通させてコネクタＣを上端６ａに接続させれば、図１０に示すように、操作ノブ本体２ａにスイッチ手段４を固定させつつ当該スイッチ手段４と配線手段６とを配線Ｈを介して接続させることができるのである。その後、操作ノブ本体２ａの両側面に対し側面部材２ｂ及び２ｃを組み付けて固定させれば、スイッチ手段４は、その操作ボタン４ａを外部に臨ませつつ本体４ｂ及び配線Ｈが操作ノブ２内に収容されることとなる。   That is, if the wiring means 6 is inserted from the insertion space 10 so that the upper end 6a faces the through hole 9, and the auxiliary wiring H is inserted into the through hole 9 to connect the connector C to the upper end 6a, FIG. As shown, the switch means 4 and the wiring means 6 can be connected via the wiring H while fixing the switch means 4 to the operation knob body 2a. After that, if the side members 2b and 2c are assembled and fixed to the both side surfaces of the operation knob main body 2a, the switch means 4 has the main body 4b and the wiring H in the operation knob 2 while facing the operation button 4a to the outside. Will be housed.

これにより、配線手段６の上端６ａからは、スイッチ手段４まで延びる補助配線Ｈを接続可能とされるとともに、操作ノブ２の左右側面方向に開口して当該補助配線Ｈを挿通可能な貫通孔９が形成されたので、当該操作ノブ２の左側面にスイッチ手段４を形成するもの、或いは右側面にスイッチ手段４を形成するものの選択を容易に行わせることができる。即ち、配線手段６の上端６ａの向きを操作ノブ２の左側面側とするか右側面側とするかにより、当該操作ノブ２の左側面にスイッチ手段４を形成するもの、或いは右側面にスイッチ手段４を形成するものの何れにおいても適用可能である。   Thus, the auxiliary wiring H extending to the switch means 4 can be connected from the upper end 6a of the wiring means 6, and the through hole 9 is opened in the left and right side surfaces of the operation knob 2 and can be inserted through the auxiliary wiring H. Thus, it is possible to easily select the switch means 4 formed on the left side of the operation knob 2 or the switch means 4 formed on the right side. That is, depending on whether the direction of the upper end 6a of the wiring means 6 is the left side or the right side of the operation knob 2, the switch means 4 is formed on the left side of the operation knob 2, or the switch on the right side. Any of those forming the means 4 can be applied.

上記実施形態によれば、配線手段６は、複数の導通プレートＰを所定の樹脂Ｊにてインサート成形して得られる板状部材から成るとともに、操作レバーに係止され得る係止用突起６ｃが形成されたので、スイッチ手段４から延びる配線の組み付け順序が限定されず、製造コストを削減することができる。即ち、カバー３を組み付ける前に配線手段６を組み付けることは勿論、当該カバー３を組み付けた後においても配線手段６を組み付けることが容易にできるのである。   According to the above embodiment, the wiring means 6 is composed of a plate-like member obtained by insert-molding a plurality of conductive plates P with a predetermined resin J, and the locking projection 6c that can be locked to the operation lever. Since it is formed, the assembly order of the wiring extending from the switch means 4 is not limited, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. That is, the wiring means 6 can be easily assembled after the cover 3 is assembled, as well as the wiring means 6 is assembled before the cover 3 is assembled.

以上、本実施形態に係る車両用変速操作装置について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば配線手段６をカバー３に係止するものであってもよい。また、配線手段６には、導通プレートＰが３本とされているが、２本或いは４本以上であってもよい。更に、本実施形態においては、補助配線Ｈを介して配線手段６とスイッチ手段４とを電気的に接続しているが、当該補助配線Ｈを介さず配線手段６の上端６ａに直接スイッチ手段を接続させるものであってもよい。尚、本実施形態においては、操作ノブに設けられたスイッチ手段がオーバードライブスイッチとされているが、他の操作スイッチ（車両が搭載する電装品等を操作するための操作手段であって電気的なオン・オフを行わせるもの等）であってもよい。   The vehicular speed change operation device according to the present embodiment has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the wiring means 6 may be locked to the cover 3. The wiring means 6 has three conduction plates P, but may have two or four or more. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wiring means 6 and the switch means 4 are electrically connected via the auxiliary wiring H, but the switching means is directly connected to the upper end 6a of the wiring means 6 without passing through the auxiliary wiring H. It may be connected. In this embodiment, the switch means provided on the operation knob is an overdrive switch, but other operation switches (operating means for operating electrical components mounted on the vehicle, etc. It is possible to perform on / off operation).

配線手段は、複数の導通プレートを所定の樹脂にてインサート成形して得られる板状部材から成るとともに、操作レバー又はカバーに係止され得る係止用突起が形成された車両用変速操作装置であれば、外観形状が異なるもの或いは他の機能が付加されたものにも適用することができる。   The wiring means is a vehicle speed change operation device that is formed of a plate-like member obtained by insert-molding a plurality of conductive plates with a predetermined resin, and has a locking projection that can be locked to an operation lever or a cover. If applicable, the present invention can be applied to ones having different appearance shapes or other functions added.
